NEW CLASS CARD

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May 2013 be the year  we turn the page and increase our best efforts to reflect God's Grace in our lives. We have the privilege as followers of Christ to invite people to come and see Jesus, who lives in each of us. When the lost encounter Christ they find their way in life more clearly. By God's grace,  seekers can see His work of grace in our speech and in our unspoken words. They see our kindness in the face of unkindness. They  see our respect when we are disrespected. They see our love when we are unloved. They see us forgive when we are rejected. They see our strength and confidence when they see how we handle adversity and illness. How we live with Christ in us, is a window into the wonders of God's grace for all to see. 

"You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."
 2 Corinthians 3:3

VISION MISSION

The Adults4Christ Sunday School Class voted today to take on the mission project of providing reading glasses for Room In The Inn. This Christ-like project came about when our class provided food and fellowship on Monday 12/16. The need became apparent as the class members worked with the 12 homeless men as part of their annual church responsibility. We can't heal the blind like Jesus did many times in the bible, but in a Christ-like manner we can provide aid to the men who are visually impaired. On the same day, we presented to the Room In The Inn Staff, on behalf of our class, a case with 51 pairs of reading glasses and the testing material necessary to properly match the correct lens with each person. The staff will let Brenda know when additional glasses are needed. The Sunday School Class will respond by using some of the extra funds collected on the first of each month for our Ethiopian / Beletech mission project to make the purchase. We will then provide the glasses to the staff before the next group of men are scheduled to arrive.

Matthew 25:40
‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

 

THE GOSPEL PROJECT

God has always had a plan.

The Gospel Project for Adults takes the story of Jesus — the gospel — the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, and points to the one story that infuses Scripture from cover to cover — God’s redemptive plan to rescue us from sin and death. Because the entire Bible points to Jesus, it is important to examine the theology and mission within the text, as all of it is an important part of understanding the awesome depth and power of the gospel. 

Join us on Sunday at 9:00AM and be part of our fellowship and study, as our teacher, Joe Steakley delivers the message in chapter 6, "THE LAND.

WE SHALL ALL GIVE AN ACCOUNT SOMEDAY

When Paul wrote to the Romans, he told them in 14:12 that “each of us shall give account of himself to God.” We will have to “settle up” with the Lord some day. That’s why II Corinthians 5:10 reminds us that “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” God owns everything, He entrusts to each of us a portion of what He owns so that we can manage it, and someday we’ll each have to give an accounting for our actions. As stewards, we should expect nothing less.

 

BELETECH's BIRTHDAY GIFT

Beletech used part of the birthday money that she received from our class to purchase two chickens.  Hopefully they will provide eggs for the family for a long time. It may seem strange to us that a little 7 year old girl would choose that as a birthday gift, but I'm sure she is happy helping her family. They will probably serve as her pets also.
